Ingredients
- 1 cup butter softened
- 2 cups peanut butter creamy or chunky
- 1 cup brown sugar packed
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
- 2 1/2 /2 cups all-purpose flour

- 1/2 /2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 /2 cup sugar for rolling
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350º F.
- Cream together butter, peanut butter, sugars, and vanilla extract. Add in eggs one at a time, being sure to fully combine each.
- Whisk together all dry ingredients and cream with peanut butter mixture until just combined. Be careful not to over mix.
- Scoop dough and roll into a ball and then roll in sugar and place on baking sheet about 2 inches apart as the cookies will spread.
- Dip tines of the fork into sugar and then press into the top of the cookie to form a criss-cross pattern.
- Place in preheated oven and bake between 10 - 15 minutes, depending on your oven.
- Remove from oven and allow to sit for about 2 minutes to cool before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes
- I prefer to use either creamy or chunky peanut butter, but natural or lower-fat peanut butters also work. Just make sure it is well-combined when incorporated into the cookie dough.Adjust baking time based on your oven. I bake these cookies for 10 minutes and allow them to cool for about 2 minutes for the perfect cookie. Do not overbake - so remove them from the oven just as they barely start to get golden and right before you think they are done.
- To store - Allow the baked cookies to cool, then cover well or place in an airtight container for up to one week.
- To freeze - Allow the freshly baked cookies to cool completely. Place cooled cookies in layers separated by parchment in an airtight, freezer-safe container in the freezer for about one month.
- Thaw at room temperature. You can warm the thawed cookies on a parchment-lined baking sheet in a 300-degree oven for about 3-5 minutes. Do not bake further - you only want to warm them.
- For an easy make-ahead peanut butter cookie recipe, prepare your cookie dough through the step of rolling in the sugar, and place cookies onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Place the baking sheet into the freezer and freeze for 30 minutes. Transfer your cookies to a freezer-safe zip-top bag and store them in the freezer for up to 3 months.
- When ready to bake, remove from the freezer-safe bag and place onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake as directed, adding about 3 minutes to the baking time.
